The names Koo Kyo-hwan and Lee Ok-seop are often used as a 'soulmate' modifier in the Korean film industry. Their relationship, which began as alumni of Seoul Institute of the Arts, is not just a personal romantic feeling, but they have built an unrivaled video grammar by collaborating as directors, actors, screenwriters, and editors through numerous works, from ‘4th Grade Bo-kyung’ to ‘Catfish’. Their long-term relationship, which has been going on since 2013, is already well known to the public, but it is very unusual for the two to hold the microphone side by side and face the audience at an official event for such a large-scale commercial film. The fact that two people who have worked while respecting each other's individuality are coming together through the medium of director Yeon Sang-ho proves how deep a relationship of trust they maintain as artistic comrades beyond simple lovers.

The film ‘Hombie’, which is at the center of this event, is a zombie film that concentrates director Yeon Sang-ho’s world view. It has already achieved both commercial and critical success, being invited to the Midnight Screening section of the Cannes Film Festival and setting a record of exceeding 5.24 million viewers. The news that Koo Kyo-hwan and Lee Ok-seop will attend the GV of such a hot film is raising fans' expectations to the extent that even the distributor Showbox responded, "Is this combination really possible?" The combination of directors Yeon Sang-ho, Koo Kyo-hwan, and Lee Ok-seop can be evaluated as a powerful lineup that symbolizes the present and future of the Korean film industry. In particular, the dialogue where director Yeon Sang-ho's genre grammar, Koo Kyo-hwan's unique acting style, and director Lee Ok-seop's unique sensuous directing skills come together in one place is expected to provide the best intellectual entertainment for movie fans.

The theme that the movie ‘Colony’ deals with is also worth noting. The battle between infected people who constantly transform to survive in a sealed space and those who try not to lose their humanity metaphorically reflects a cross-section of our society. At the GV site, which deals with such complex narratives, it is very interesting to see what interpretation Koo Kyo-hwan and Lee Ok-seop, who have observed each other's changes and shared artistic variations for 13 years, will present to the audience. Beyond simply fulfilling their duties as cast members, they are preparing to provide in-depth answers to the questions posed by the film from their own perspectives. How these two interpret and expand the dystopian worldview built by director Yeon Sang-ho will be the core value of this GV.

The biggest impact this joint attendance gives to the public is ‘the beauty of sustainable relationships.’ The way they have grown together for 13 years while maintaining their work and love simultaneously in the fierce environment of the entertainment and film industries serves as an example to many. Koo Kyo-hwan as an actor and Lee Ok-seop as a director solidify their respective fields while willingly exchanging inspiration for each other's work, showing what a true partnership is. This GV will be more than just an event to promote the film, it will be a venue where the two people, who have shared a long time together as colleagues and lovers, communicate with the audience and radiate new cinematic energy. It is clear that their actions will continue to be remembered as an example of the most creative and healthy couple in the Korean film industry.
